Pros & Cons
Pros
The interface is super easy, setup is quick and simple. I'm not sure why this was necessary, but had me scratching my head for a while!
Nearly £350 is a lot to spend on a router, but if the cost isn't a concern, just pick one up and don't worry about buying another router for a few years. This shows tp-link can do so much more with the browser settings where the user is pretty restric... Read More
The parental controls are great, being able to set a schedule to allow the internet to any device at anytime on the network helps massively. Screw holes for wall mounting are convenient, and i've mounted this near to the middle of the ground floor of ... Read More
Cons

Competitiveness
I combine with tplink powerline to create a seamless flow around our large house.
